The family of Craig Arthur Loats has received the following condolences.
Nickie and Rachel,
So sorry for the loss of your father. He was a friend of my parents, Barney and June Roberts, and I often worked closely with him when I was growing up. Both your mom and dad were very loving people. Craig always had a great smile and a joke to tell. He was a great influence on me. May he rest in peace.
Even though I did not know your father personally, he must have been a wonderful man to have helped raise such a wonderful woman!
So sorry to hear the news of Craig's passing. My thought and prayers are with you all. I have many fun memories of Craig during our school years in Spencer..
Sorry to hear about Craig. Way to young to die. He was a good man.
Our deepest sympathy to the family of Craig Loats. Steve graduated with him from Spencer in 1971 and we were deeply saddened to hear of his loss.
May God sustain you all during this difficult time.
My prayers go out for Craig and his family. I last saw Craig at the 40th class reunion for the class of 1971. Craig will be missed and alot of great memories of a father, and brother and uncle. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you.
